Paint Yourself Happy: 5 Colors That Bring Joy

Studies have shown that looking at certain colors can impact your mood, so if you’re looking to brighten your days, look at the walls.

Orange
This color boosts social connection, so paint a wall in your living room or kitchen a vivid orange and enjoy deeper, longer, joyous conversations.

Yellow
This sunny color is one of the most obvious mood brighteners, and there are many shades of yellow soft enough for an entire room.

Green
This earthy tone is a stress reliever. Roll it onto the wall across from your bed and smile your way into sleep.

Violet
This royal hue fosters creativity and intuition. Add it to your home office for more satisfaction in your work life.

Fuchsia
While this color is a tad bright for most rooms, fuchsia accent walls can still splash around enough of the color to make an impact.
